"Peggy has been an integral part of my life for many years, first as my nanny and then as a member of my family. I am 40 years old, and we still keep in regular contact because she is family. Her dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to my well-being left an indelible mark on my life. Peggy's ability to create a nurturing and structured environment made our home feel like a safe space. She was always patient, attentive, and responsive, ensuring that I felt supported and cared for every day. Peggy has a natural gift for connecting with children, and she consistently demonstrated compassion, warmth, and an incredible work ethic. She was always proactive, helping with household tasks, organizing activities, and encouraging learning and development. Her genuine interest in fostering a positive and engaging environment helped shape me into the person I am today. My wife and I have a three-year-old son and if we lived in Chicago today, we wouldn’t hesitate to hire Peggy immediately."

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Sports, arts & crafts, cooking, visiting museums and zoo outings. Help with school activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love getting the opportunity to be a part of kids growth and development. I was fortunate enough to get to see three children grow up with my most recent family. It's amazing getting to see them evolve. So much of it is having fun together and playing games and heading to activities - but then you get to look back and be proud you got to see things from their perspective and help them gain some of the insight that will support them for years to come.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I like to put together an adventure day, where the kids and I would take a day and travel the city on the bus, free trolley and water taxis and visit different locations and places that are kid oriented and also has fun things for them to do.

Kanyia C. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Kanyia C.

Hi there, family! My name is Kanyia and I am a psychology graduate, Registered Behavior Technician, and lifelong lover of working with kids. I have been in children’s spaces in some form since I was a teenager, from babysitting and daycare assistance to running summer camp programming and delivering clinical ABA therapy. I bring a developmental psychology lens to everything I do, which means I am not just keeping kids safe and entertained, I am constantly thinking about where they are in their growth, what they need to thrive, and how to make every interaction meaningful. I am creative, fun to work with as I specialize in play based learning, and highly organized!
